Embodiment Construction

[0023] It should be understood that the figures and descriptions of the methods for growing light emitting devices under ultraviolet irradiation have been simplified to illustrate elements relevant to a clear understanding, while many other elements found in typical device processes have been removed for the sake of clarity . Those of ordinary skill in the art can recognize that other elements and / or steps are desirable and / or required in implementing the present invention. However, because such elements and steps are well known in the art, and because they would not facilitate a better understanding of the present invention, discussion of such elements and steps is not provided herein.

[0024] In a conventional III-nitride light-emitting diode (LED), the n-type layer is first grown on the substrate, followed by the active layer (or light-emitting layer) and the p-type layer. As used herein, the term layer refers to at least one of the identified layers, for example, a p-typ...

Abstract

Described herein are methods for growing light emitting devices under ultra-violet (UV) illumination. A method includes growing a III-nitride n-type layer over a III-nitride p-type layer under UV illumination. Another method includes growing a light emitting device structure on a growth substrate and growing a tunnel junction on the light emitting device structure, where certain layers are grown under UV illumination. Another method includes forming a III-nitride tunnel junction n-type layer over the III-nitride p-type layer to form a tunnel junction light emitting diode. A surface of the III-nitride tunnel junction n-type layer is done under illumination during an initial period and a remainder of the formation is completed absent illumination. The UV light has photon energy higher than the III-nitride p-type layer's band gap energy. The UV illumination inhibits formation of Mg-H complexes within the III-nitride p-type layer resulting from hydrogen present in a deposition chamber.
